I wanted to love this backpack because it seems very well thought out with lots of clips and clasps everywhere to make it very versatile and functional, but I used it on a recent trip and it was very uncomfortable. It holds a pretty good amount of gear. The style looks super cool, but if you are traveling with it, it feels very heavy and straining on your back. The size is pretty big and an empty backpack feels like it weighs 5 pounds. I think this is because the material is very thick and waterproof, but this also means the thick and heavy fabric makes it hard to open and close the zippers so you dread having to open any zippers. The fabric is also very stiff. It is very good at keeping rain out and all the seams and padding seems very high-quality and well, sewn I just have to take off one star because it is not a comfortable backpack to wear. Also, there are lots of straps dangling all over. If you are looking for something that can withstand the elements, but don’t mind a sore back, then this backpack will work. Also, there are some small little pockets on the straps and sides that I never ended up using because the fabric is so stiff and the pockets are small. It’s hard to fit more than just maybe some batteries.
